If you are using Konsole, there should be an icon in a row of some tabs that 
to me looks like sun coming out from behinds.  The mouse-over text says 
"Click for new session.  Click and Hold for session menu."  Click and hold.  
Choose a root session.  A root session tab is created.

Now you can go back and forth between root and user if you need to.

or just press <ctrl + D>
